SENDING AND PERCEIVING THOUGHT

A very dear friend and I were discussing our mutual successes and failures on the subject of Telepathy (from the ancient Greek, tele meaning “distant”, pathe meaning “passion, affliction, experience, as in the word “empathy”).  I suspect that telepathy is very difficult to do because, as spiritual beings, we inhabit a body that is dependent on physical universe perceptions for communication (site, sound, touch, smell, hearing, etc.)  We have become dependent on receiving eternal information THROUGH the body.  We do not use our spiritual senses to give and receive communication as often as we might if we did not have physical perception.  It has been observed that many animals (dolphins, whales, elephants, dogs, etc.) seem to possess more sophisticated ability to communicate with each other telepathically.  Humans are not as good at this because we use spoken language as a substitute.  Humans think they are superior to the animals because we can use language.  It fact this may be a DISABILITY!

There is a very interesting fellow named Rupert Sheldrake who has done research about animal telepathy.

Perhaps this research will be useful to you.  Send me your thoughts on the subject, telepathically or physically.

SEVENLY DEAD SINS

I am a great fan of the paintings of  Hieronymus Bosch and his best-known follower, Pieter Bruegel the Elder.  I appreciate the in-your-face-honesty of their paintings, which were produced during a period of extreme religious and political repression that gripped Europe.  The macabre, grotesque reality of the people and superstitions of the age are eloquently illustrated with masterfully satirical potency.  Here is a marvelous animation, constructed from “The Seven Deadly Sins”.  They were “deadly” because the Catholic priests would murder you if you refused to buy into their monstrous superstitions designed to control the population for political and financial gain.  From my perspective — 500 years later — our lives have certainly improved, but they are still essentially macabre and grotesque.

The Seven Deadly Sins (2011) is a video animation by Belgian artist Antoine Roegiers based on The Seven Deadly Sins by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.  Bruegel is the best-known Bosch follower and Karel van Mander called him “Pieter the Droll” in his Schilder-boeck:

“Oock sietmen weynigh stucken van hem, die een aenschouwer wijslijck sonder lacchen can aensien, ja hoe stuer wijnbrouwigh en statigh hy oock is, hy moet ten minsten meese-muylen oft grinnicken.”
“There are few works by his hand which the observer can contemplate solemnly or with a straight face. However stiff, morose or surly he may be, he cannot help chuckling or at any rate smiling.”

– Here reprinted in F. Grossmann’s translation (Bruegel, The Paintings, [London, Phaidon Press, n.d.], pp. 7 ff.)

SUICIDE IS PAINLESS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

suicide is painlessAs people grow older conditions of life often become increasingly painful.  We must decide for ourselves when the game is over, and consider our options. The lyrics to this song repeat the timeless question: to be, or not to be? Who should answer the question:  You or the body you animate?

 Lyrics to the song “Suicide is Painless” by Mike Altman
is the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H.  Mike Altman is the son of the original film’s director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he wrote the song’s lyrics.
